    Default Best grind for thick beard

    What is the best bring for thick beard? I shaved with old king cutter square point this weekend and got a great shave. I think it was a full hollow. My every day razor is a dovo best quaility round point not sure of grind. It does give me a good shave. So with this said this is why I am posting this question.

    My guess, would be any grind so long as it is shave ready sharp. The rest would be personal preference.

    Wedge is preferred, acts like a plow.

    Any grind, any size will give you equally good shaves no matter what type of beard you have. It's just a matter of preference.

    +1. Any grind will work fine. Wedges are great as are hollows. I personally sold all my wedges! I like a hollow and the ease of honing. Wedges once theyre set up are fine though.

    I used to think a heavier grind worked better for multi day growth. I've since come to re-think that oppinion as I have some full and extra hollows that do great no matter what the growth amount is. I too have a beard where the hairs themselves are very thick and slow growing but my beard density isn't particularly high.

    When I used DE blades though I had to be careful what I used as really only the Feather, Astra and Personna blades were sharp enough to shave me comfortably without any tugging.

    I think any grind will serve you equally as long as your technique is up to par. From my experience anyways. I notice little difference between my razors when they are honed well. I think the shape makes more of a difference than the grind.
